Does anyone have a tip for the relief of leg pain due to varicose veins?!
Question: I'm on a surgical waiting list and am looking for other types of pain relief besides surgical stockings and elevating my legs--any tip would help.
Answers:
Kinesiology is great for all kinds of pain relief, and is very complimentary to whatever your doctor is doing. A good kinesiologist can show you simple techniques to minimise your pain that don't require painkillers, so you don't need to worry about interactions with anything your doctor may have given you. Couple of good websites to give you more info re kinesiology: www.luminouslife.com.au - www.kinesiology.com.au - www.icpkp.com These sites also list practitioners so that you can find someone in your area. Good luck!

Cooling Yarrow Gel from Naturopathica may help.
Or some really good essential oils might be cypress, geranium, juniper and/or lemon. Just make sure that you get a really high grade ess. oil and you also use a carrier oil (very important)
